It was published in 1977 by the Royal Ontario Museum in connection with an exhibit of their collection.&nbsp; If they re-staged that exhibit, I&#039;d drag my butt down there in a New York minute.</p><p><br /></p><p>This book is a very good introduction to the subject.&nbsp; It discusses history and evolution of the garments, color and pictorial symbolism, types of garments, rank badges.&nbsp; There are diagrams showing lay-outs for cutting the cloth, detailing the elements of the garments, lots of photos.&nbsp; Most of the photos are black and white but there is a smattering of color.&nbsp; 87 pages with a biliography.</p><p><br /></p><p>Free shipping (cheapest).</p><p><br /></p><p>If more than one person is interested, a choice of recipient will be made Monday evening.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]246254[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]246256[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]246257[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
